Cabbage Kathi Rolls and Cutlets-Best Winter Time Tasty and Healthy Snack to Enjoy

Whenever we talk about green veggies, one of the popular names that strike in our mind is cabbage. Strong reason for this is that as a fresh and a green leafy vegetable, it gives tons of nutritional benefits with low amount of calories and fat. However, as the nature of a human being, he or she gives priority to taste rather than overall health while choosing any food item, including the mentioned green veggie i.e. cabbage. 

Thus, in order to give a perfect blend between excellent taste and good health, we have introduced a few tasty and healthy recipes prepared with cabbage in combination with some other veggies in small amounts. In addition, to meet the objective of diet-friendly recipe or gluten-free recipe, we have used sorghum i.e. jowar flour and gram flour i.e. besan instead of Maida. These include the following-
